Mentimeter (or Menti for short) is a Swedish company based in Stockholm that develops and maintains an eponymous app used to create presentations with real-time feedback. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]

Contents

Foundation and background

Based in Stockholm, Sweden, the Mentimeter app was started by Swedish entrepreneur Johnny Warström [9] and Niklas Ingvar [9] as a response to unproductive meetings. [10] The initial start-up budget was $500,000 raised by a group of prominent investors, including Per Appelgren in 2014, following the market's tendency to invest in Scandinavia. [11] [12]

The app also focuses on online collaboration for the education sector, allowing students or public members to answer questions anonymously. [13] [14] [15]

The app enables users to share knowledge and real-time feedback on mobile devices [6] with presentations, polls or brainstorming sessions in classes, meetings, gatherings, conferences and other group activities. [13] [16]

Achievements

By 2021, Mentimeter had over 270 million users and was one of Sweden's fastest-growing startups. [17] [2] [18] The company also ranked #10 on 20 Fastest Growing 500 Startups Batch 16 Companies. [19] [20] [21] [22] It was ranked Stockholm's fastest growing company of the 2018 edition of the DI Gasell Award. [23] [24]

Mentimeter has a freemium business model. [25] [26] [27] [28]
